Peakstone Sells Greater Boston Office Campus for $85M
Keurig Dr Pepper fully leases the asset.
Montana Avenue Capital Partners has acquired 53 & 63 South Ave., a two-building, 431,233-square-foot office and R&D campus in Burlington, Mass. Peakstone Realty Trust sold the two assets for a total of $84.5 million, in a transaction brokered by Newmark.
The two office buildings had been under Peakstone’s ownership since 2021, when the company bought them from CIM Group as part of a $1.25 billion portfolio transaction, according to Yardi Matrix information.
The office transaction volume in Boston amounted to $1.08 billion year-to-date as of September, according to the latest Yardi Matrix office report. Assets changed hands for $153 per square foot on average, way below the national average of $195 per square foot.
